專案描述

DIET-PC (DIskless Embedded Technology Personal Computer) is a software kit enabling IT professionals to build embedded Linux appliances based on commodity PC or Mac hardware and various commercial embedded appliances. The focus is on platform portability, OS fundamentals and developer friendliness, rather than the end-user UI. The distribution is intended primarily for desktop graphical appliances, particularly thin clients (using the X11/XDMCP, ICA, RDP, and RFB graphics protocols). Although originally a network-booting OS, DIET-PC works well with various forms of solid-state persistent storage and hence is no longer strictly "diskless". The project uses QEMU virtual machines running Debian Linux (under Windows) as self-contained development environments, and hence may also be of interest for its unusual (non-x86) QEMU accomplishments.

This release is a complete reworking of DIET-PC using iPKG packaging. It now operates as a Debian-like live feed, such that run-time upgrades are possible, rather than a collection of static downloads. Supported architectures currently include x86, x86_64, ARM, ARM EABI, and PowerPC 32. The minimum kernel version is now 2.6.15. Package granularity is much finer, allowing more precise tailoring using kbuild. Packages are installed into semi-independent root, /usr, and /usr/local zones, which can be aligned to persistent filesystem boundaries. Major upgrades include glibc 2.7 and Xorg 7.4.

The Linux 2.6 kernel is now supported, and almost
every software component was updated to the
current version as of the release date.
Versatility was improved, particularly with regard
to hardware autodetection and ease of deployment
(especially to permanent storage devices). GPL
compliance was improved with a provision for
source code and build instructions.

1.1

This version converts DIET-PC from a special-purpose
thin client framework into a general- purpose
"embedded appliance" framework. This includes greater
flexibility with regard to bootstrap methods (e.g. boot
from PXE boot ROM, CD, or solid-state/conventional
hard disk), and architectural changes permitting offline
operation.

1.0

The major improvement in this release is management of multiple embedded GUI applications, either concurrently (using minimalist window manager "evilwm"), or on an operating mode (runlevel separation) basis. Other improvements are largely concerned with initrd footprint reduction and improved security. DIET-PC now runs comfortably in 24 Mb of RAM in most cases. All embedded applications (apart from the X server) now run as an unprivileged user, to reduce exposure of the thin client's Linux OS.

Beta

The main change in this release is a rewrite of
the boot image preparation mechanism for smoother
assembly of component packages.
